Sam Posey

We have a new page on the T/A site dedicated to Sam Posey.

Most of the photos are vintage shots. One of the "body in white" Challengers is shown, as well as a Challenger that was cannibalized for parts for the race car. The Challenger that Chrysler gave to Sam as a driver is also shown.

You can see the photos here;

I've always looked at Sam Posey as one of the most articulate men, much less racecar driver, I've ever heard speak. You can hear in his voice an understated enthusiasm for the sport when he talks about about it.
Unfortunately, according to Wikipedia, he has Parkinsons Disease.

An article from a Oct.1970 Auto Driver mag. The Magazine covers both the race and street versions on the T/A Challenger.

Yes.

If anyone can read the fender tag in that photo, please let me know? :nod:

IIRC they are still open, filling current orders but are not accepting new orders whilst looking for a buyer.
